Crab are afraid of heights, so put them right here: Note how this one is holding on for dear life even though the water is right below.

Even though I have a nice cat walk arrangement on my trailer, for the reasons described above I don't go out of my way to avoid getting my feet wet. Yeah boots are good, too, but you still have to pull them on and take them off which is more than I want to do most of the time. However, for that...

The former, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out so well.

Take your hand and whack the underside of the table upward at the center point where the table attaches to the cabin wall. The table has two tabs that slide downward into brackets on the cabin wall. You need to get these tabs to slide up out of the brackets. I assume you have already...

Anyone who intends to carry all of this stuff, please raise your hand. Seems to me each person has to make his own choices from the universe of tools, parts, equipment and materials available out there. Either that or get a bigger boat.

<<What are the chances? >> I say there are two chances for that happening; slim and none. Hope I'm wrong, though.

Saw this un-named CD19 at Pier 1½ on the SF waterfront today. These boats do tend to pop up suddenly here and there.

At game two of the World Series, saw this CD22: ATT Park during the game:

On Oct 21, I saw a C-Dory on TV in McCovey Cove at ATT Park during game four of the SF Giants/Phillies series. You might see another one there tonight, and that would be yours truly. I'll have two flag banners and orange lights on the roof. Go Giants.

More confusion: "The EPA plans to solicit comment on how gasoline pumps should be labeled, so as to avoid or reduce the potential that drivers will put the wrong fuel into their cars"

Maybe this?

Tortuga Matt: Please post the link or the exact name of the app for buoydata. I searched the itunes apps but found no free reference to it. Only paid apps for noaa. thanks.

I see similarities and differences compared to the previous 25. Two most notable differences are, first, the scuppers are larger. Before they were 1 inch whereas these look to be 1.5 or even larger. Mine have been increased to 1.5 and these look like they could be 2.0. Can’t tell what kind of...

Update: Upon removal of the caliper from the rotor and then compressing the pistons to check for movement, it was evident they aren't working properly. Basically, they're frozen and don't move in and out, so now I know what the problem is. Thanks to SeaSpray Steve for meeting up with me and...

What about mounting a Tri-Lens on top of the radar dome? Is there enough clearance inside so that the swing arm won't hit the mounting bolts?

If one does use a suction extractor device, it's probably a good idea to at least loosen, lubricate and retighten that plug occasionally just to ensure it remains functional should the need arise.

<<Can one "pass" such a check if the boat has been washed and waxed and is perfectly clean?>> No, one cannot, you fool. :wink After all, it might be "annoying but a small price to pay to keep our waters from becoming infested". Of course, it doesn't matter that birds and fish are the biggest...

I should have mentioned I have electric over hydraulic, not surge brakes, sorry. The other wheels don't bind this way.

One of my wheels spins easily in the forward direction but not in reverse. In reverse, it binds and cannot be rotated without significant effort. The inside brake pad is causing it to bind and I see that the pad has some play in it. The movement is lateral to the rotor, not in and out...

I think I read somewhere that most sailboats are actually powered-boats that on average run under sail only 30% of the time. The other 70% is by petrochemical power. So if they ban powerboats, they also have to ban powered sailboats, don’t they?
